I Can Laugh About It Now

(Colin Vearncombe)

I can laugh about it now

But couldn't then

You made me ache

So I went for a run

In the driving rain

Through your neighbourhood streets

And then there you were

A silhouette in the wet night air

Me in my pumps in

The pouring rain in

A kind of despair

Upon finding you there

Couldn't whisper your name

So, I can laugh about it now

By your side

Oh I can laugh about it now

By your side

Oh, sha la la la

We're all in trouble

Is there room in the sky

For all of us angels here

On earth?

And the very next day

Through the shrieks of the crowd

Came your careless self

Your oh-so-couldn't careless self

But you just pass me by

Your friends catch my eyes

"We know you love her

We saw you dancing with her shadow"

And I couldn't disagree

And for the life of me

I could call out your name

And call out your name

And call out your name

Oh, I can laugh about it now

By your side

I can laugh about it now

By your side

Oh, sha la la la

We're all in trouble

Is there room in the sky

For all of us angels here

On earth?

Sha la la la,

Oh we're all in trouble

Or is there room in the sky

For all of us angels here

On earth?

I can laugh about it now

I can laugh about it now

By your side

Oh, sha la la la,

We're all in trouble

Or is there room in the sky

For all of us angels here

On earth?

Sha la la la,

We're all in trouble

Or is there room in the sky

For all of us angels here

On earth?

Sha la la la,

Is there room in the sky

For all of us angels here

On earth?

On earth?

Sha la la la
